Here's my objection to a 'two-state solution'. Has there ever been a state made of two unique parts (ie West Bank and Gaza miles away). How would anyone administer a state like that? For instance could Abbas have sent an army to Gaza and defend it (assuming he had an army to send)?
So Gaza is like you can have the house but I control the front and back yard, all the doors and windows and the utilities. The West Bank is worst because I also control the hallways. I don't understand how someone is supposed to build a viable state from that.
Last point, right now we (the West) want Abbas to keep Gaza close to starvation. What would the world say if Mugabe/Castro/Chavez came up with a plan like that?
